El Barto

I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with this. If the software is free, then it’s free. It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.

Personally, I write code and publish it in the hopes that it will help someone. If someone comes in and says “there’s this bug, fix it!” I will only do so if it will benefit me, or if I feel like it.

Thanks!

“no babbling the Lord’s name just because, like, hello?!”

“No murders, y’all”

Omg, that’s too funny!

“No ogling at your peeps’ wives, c’mon you dum-dums!”

Which country are you from?

Can you give examples, please?

What language is this?

Spanish has a plural formal form as well, but it’s only used as such in Spain. “Ustedes” (the informal one is “vosotros”.)

In the rest of the Spanish speaking world, that formal form is used in both formal and informal contexts. So non-Spaniards have that one fact with common with Turkish people. Neat!

Or Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba…?

lol ok

I genuinely don’t understand your comment. Care to elaborate, please?

I legitimately know two women who had that concern, blocked the guy on everything, and he either made an alt or found an obscure social to DM them on.

Holy hell, what a nightmare. This happened to me once with a woman. She doing it to me, kind of ironic. And I felt mildly annoyed instead of horrified, which I’m aware is male privilege.

I used an example in English because we’re discussing in English, not because of semantics or language rules. My counterargument is fine.

But you made me wonder, is there a human language on Earth in which an individual refers to themselves as “we” instead of “I” - or yo, je, ich, watashi, etc? That would be fascinating.

Or what are those other languages that have a different way of using “I”, which I’m assuming you’re referring to as the pronoun to refer to oneself?

Neither acknowledges my interesting stories and that makes me sad. You’re right. They’re nothing without each other.

Oh. Name-calling. Original.

So what you’re saying is… the brain is its own thing, then.

Oh please. Nice words and all, but if you fall into a ditch, you don’t say “well, shit, we’re fucked!” like Gollum. You feel like a single entity in trouble. You don’t say “my dear neurons, gut bacteria and anus cells, let’s work together to get out of this mess!!”

Naaaah, if you have five people in a year texting you over and over demanding your attention, then getting even more texts when you reply with “yo don’t text me again,” you’ll learn to ghost very quickly.

I’m not saying that’s everyone’s experience. But understand that not everyone does it for the pleasure of dehumanizing.

Uh sure. Texts allow you to respond whenever you are free. But if you don’t want to, you don’t have to. My free time is my own for me to use in any way I please. And if I don’t want to reply to anyone in particular during my free time, no one should judge me for that. I’ll reply to you when I want to. That’s why it’s asynchronous communication. Need something more immediate? Call. Visit. Or try texting again (but don’t send a barrage of texts.)

Answer: that’s not ghosting. That’s like saying “what kind of lamp is this computer speaker?”

Ghosting is when the other person never responds, ever, even if you send them messages. As long as they respond, again, that’s not ghosting.

That’s just a person for whom you are not a priority in their lives.
